Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: It's amusing that the plant-obsessed horticulturist is the one who defeats the invading Russians.
Con: The basic concept is hard to credit. You don't just hide a spaceship launch, and the threat of attacking with an asteroid is difficult to take seriously; moving it would take a very long time, but it wouldn't take long at all to send out a nuclear weapon for a standoff blast.
